Tate’s Tableaux Raises Funds for OJEN
The Herbert family established Tate’s Tableaux 5 years ago to commemorate the life of their son in a meaningful way. Their annual event in Barrie, brings together friends and family for an evening of music and good cheer. The proceeds are donated to OJEN’s justice education programs for youth, a cause they believe Tate would have appreciated.

Combined with donations from their friends and from OJEN stakeholders, the total came to $9,750!
